RE: oracle platform statistics

Solaris has been Oracle's primary development platform in the past a few times. If Oracle had owned Solaris a few years ago when it decided to go to Linux as its Primary platform, the story would have been different.

Today, Oracle Database is #1 on Linux with more than 82% market share. Oracle Applications and Oracle Fusion Middleware continue to build significant momentum on Linux as well, with more than 30 percent of Oracle 11i applications and about 50 percent of Oracle Fusion Middleware shipping on Linux last year.
